Gape, please help.

After installation of the SP 2.0.2. my firewall (McAffee 6.0) stopped working. On Windows Start up I am getting a blue screen " A fatal exeption OE has occured at 0028:c0096509 in VXD MPFBOCKS(01)+ 00006F6D. The current application will me terminated...."
Up to that day I used McAffee without any problems. I have noticed the same error discussed in Netherlands, but I do not speak Dutch.

Have you heard of this? Is there any remedy?
Thank you. confused.gif

Are you using an AMD CPU?

I don't know what that is... sad.gif How can I tell??



By the way, in McAffee forum I read of the same problems, so I am using a different firewall now. Works good. Maybe the problem is not SP 2.0.2.???

On your computer, click on "My Computer" icon to bring up a menu, select "Properties" and see what it says under "Computer."

Well, all isn't lost, you apparently have either renamed or deleted some of the "normal" desktop icons. But no matter, there is a program on your drive that can find all the info you need and more: msinfo32.exe.

Just go to start button, click on "run" and type "msinfo32" and voila...

If you don't happen to have a start button, you can use Windows Explorer to locate the file using the search files/folder function, and then go to the location and click on the file to run it.
